n
today's world of cel-phones, freeze dried foods,
instant gratification, and a universe of television
channels, we can easily

be
distracted. Many other forces in our lives also
act to take us away from our natural desire to
explore the unknown, and sometimes even lull us
into boredom and complacency.

Despite the incredible refinements and awareness
our society provides, we often strive to balance
our achievements with more supposedly spiritually
fulfilling activities - i.e. work-outs at the gym,
yoga, tantric meditation, treks to the Himalayas,
or assorted hobbies.

Really, the challenge is to nourish our inner
selves with stimulating experiences and adventures;
these keep us feeling alive, purposeful, and growing.

One might
surmise that our attraction to fetish activities is often
driven by its incredible contrast to the everyday lives
we live in the 'real world', but our attraction goes
far deeper than that, and relates strongly to the innate
desire of the human species to seek different horizons.
Then, too, there is the built-in desire of the human
species to create things and environments that cater
to our own personal views of the world around us, and
to mould it, where we can, in many cases, to fit our
fantasies.

That we denizens of the
scene have somewhat different dreams than the vanilla environment
that surrounds us, makes no difference, for we attempt
the same thing within our particular fetish worlds. Not
only do we visit new areas and stranger than normal places,
but at the same time we manage to both entertain ourselves,
and to express our deepest emotional and sexual desires
in a safe, comforting environment, with friends who share
our interests.

The photographs you will see below capture
unusual and breath-taking images of skin-tight latex fetish
wear, and stringent bondage. Both KitNBoots and her partner,
Reed, have found a strange (or perhaps not so strange,
in their terms of reference) fulfillment during a playful
exploration in this increasingly popular portion of the
vast kink spectrum.

Let's turn down the lights,
so we can view these images and join them in their original
and mysterious setting....

Reed: "I
really do love my cat suit, it makes me feel
sleek and fluid. As my body warms to this strange
latex enclosure, the rubber comes to life. I
feel it's grip, gently hugging, constant tension,
but not constraining. Inside the suit my own
sweat adds to the slickness of the latex, so
that the suit flows with me as I move. My tactile
senses come alive by this constant stimulation.

Once I adjust to the feeling of the suit and
my patent stiletto boots, it's time to hear how
my Mistress wishes me to complete my ensemble.
Color seems to be the word, so it's red gloves
and my red waist-cincher corset.

I love the compression of the corset, and how
it checks my breathing. I like to think of the
corset as a constant hug from my Mistress; a
hug that will stay with me long after her hands
let

go.
I feel her knee press against my back as she
pulls the laces tight. I am in bliss. I steady
myself during her efforts to keep myself from
melting at her touch.

We complete my outfit with
a pair of thin latex hoods; one in black with
an alien look, and one in red which encompasses
my head - but has an open face. My bizarre latex
enclosure and the resulting anonymity are a turn-on
for both of us!

KitNBoots: My
submissive and I enjoyed three separate play
scenarios during this photo shoot; 1) the latex
bondage scene where I topped Reed with his wrists
cuffed overhead, 2) the Mister S muzzle and leather
bag scene where Reed topped me, 3) and the gas
mask twins scene where we became playful
fetishists together.

During the first scene, I
enjoyed the objectification of playing with a
faceless, yet warm and vibrant "victim" in
slick latex. Despite the heavy shackles, and
even through the layers of latex, I could still
feel the pounding heart and warmth of a man who
is very much alive, willing, and responsive to
my touch!

In the bondage bag scene, donning the muzzle
was an exercise in submission itself. Once the
bag's encasement was complete, I found it to
be completely escape proof! I felt helpless and
completely at Reed's mercy. With only my eyes,
ears and nose exposed,
my senses were limited to those of sight, sound and

smell. I swooned at the unmistakable aroma
of the heavy rubber gloves as he reached to caress
my face, while I lie immobile with his handsome
face looming over me!

As for the gas mask twins scenario -- it was
truly a gas! I really enjoyed playing dress up,
stripping away my identity and abandoning my
ego with every additional piece of gear I put
on. This was a scene in which switches can revel;
I felt a liberating sense of camaraderie with
my fellow 'creature' as we 'wrestled' and played
together as equals in our pseudo sci-fi attire.
This was a precious experience, which I will
never forget. The most decadent moment was when
I looked around - and realized that we were sitting
amidst an astonishing array of assorted bondage
equipment!

LT-Switch: I
have been into photography for about as long
as I can remember, and kinky play for almost
as long. I always find it a treat when I can
combine those interests. I've photographed leather,
rope, and metal bondage in a variety of ways,
but latex was a new subject. I've never had a
strong interest in latex in my kink play, the
but photographer in me couldn't wait to work
with this shiny, soft, sensual material.

As a photographer who is sensitive to the energy
within a scene, I feel that it's a fine line
between getting the shots I need and effecting
the interaction that's happening between the
subjects. Capturing that energy is the spark
that makes the photos seem so special. Having
worked with these models before, I had high hopes
that this would yield some great results. It
turned out that this session had that perfect
blend.

We
had finished photographing the latex and the
leather restraint scene, so we decided to take
a break. After a while the models migrated back
to the play room and I soon followed with the
camera and turned on the lights. That's when
things seemed to come together - with everyone
coming up with ideas, more hoods, more rubber
and toys, which seemed to make the scene and
the photos mesh. We were amazed when we looked
at the photos we had produced in that last hour!
